Help!! I just got my gun back from a cerakote/laser engraver and I was putting my frame back with upgraded parts and I can’t figure out what I did wrong. All the parts are in, I’ll strip it again tomorrow but does anyone have any ideas what it could be? First off the hammer wouldn’t come back at all, then I fixed the hammer but the trigger wouldn’t work in DA but the SA would. Now the DA will pull the hammer back but not fire and the SA will sometimes work but it mainly acts as the decocker and puts it in quarter cock while the decocker sends it fully home. I haven’t polished or sanded anything but I did put some oil on the main parts but not the internal frame or trigger bar.

can you post photos of the internals? slide and frame.

i don’t have a pic of the slide right now, but I don’t think it’s the problem because it keeps happening when the slide is off.

here are a couple of angles of my P07 if that helps.

i am sure there are other disassembly/reassembly videos on YT but here is one from Mcarbo that is pretty good.

Thank you for these, I’ll be taking it apart again tonight so I’ll look at these and try see if I can figure it out! I’ve also gotta polish and maybe sand some stuff down too.

i for the life of me can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong. The same problem, DA doesn't work, SA is acting like the decocker and the decocker is sending the hammer fully home.

did you watch the Mcarbo video? it goes through a total disassembly and reassembly of the entire hammer/decocker system. you might want to look at the YT video for changing the decocker to a safety. the only thing i see that looks a little off is the decocker spring looks offset. could it be in backwards?

Yes I did, at this point I’m able to take it apart and put it back together super easily. What I did after sending those pics is I took out all the upgraded internals and put the OEM back in and now it runs like butter. So I still don’t know what the problem is but at least it works again I guess.
And I don’t think it was on backwards? The long leg went in the hole, the short leg stuck out towards the front of the gun and I pushed it below the ledge on the decocking lever.

you are probably right about the spring. it was the only thing that grabbed my eye. just out of curiosity, who is the maker of the aftermarket parts? have you contacted them? do they have an assembly video available?

If it works with the old parts but not with the new parts, something is wrong with the new replacements. Logical?
